Death of Peter ROury0ult.

Our Highland correspondence fur
nisheS the following obituary of Mr..
Bourgault, who died at his home in
the town of Clyde, Friday, March 4,
1897:
At any time, and for any one, it is a
sad task to write the last few words
for the dead; but hard beyond express
sion dose the duty become when,
whether through ties of blood or the
bond of real friendship, the one who
has laid down the life work is near
and dear to us. Tears come instead
of thoughts, and the hand falters, yet
the sadness is not unmiXed with some
thing brighter, for there is pleasure in
saying some thing in commentator
of good life. And then there is
the thought that perhaps the sympa-
thy which prompts the words, however
in adequately it may be expressed, may
carry to the stricken heats something
of comfort and rest. Beyond q few
facts it is impossible to say anything
of Mr. BOurgault that is not already
known to those who engaged his
friendship. His love for his family
and home, Ellsworth as a citizen all
are familiar with, and may well profit
by; of his life and character it is need
less to speak. If 'he lives longest who
lives best" then Mr. Bourgaults life is
in needfull of years. Rev. Father
Dempsey of Highland preached his
funeral sermon, paying touching and
well deserved tribute to the memory of
a good and noble man. Old men and
aged vernon who knew him best wept
bitterly when his remaines were lower
ed to there last resting place. He was
buried at the Catholic cemetery in Clyde
Monday March z, 1897. May his soul
rest in peace.

John Dillon, Supported by the Walters
Comedy Company.
|" LIGHTNING AGENT.

John Dillon and his company played
the 50 Lightning Agent at the Funke
last night to one of the best houses Of
the season. The audience was a re-
preventative Lincoln audience, compos-
ed of our first and best people, with
all of whom Dillon has long been a
favorite. The play is comedy drama
in five acts, and from first to last
abounds in situations intensely inter
esting and broadly comical. Dillon, to
be sure, is more than capable in all his
characters, but the other members OF
the company are so good as to merit
the individual mention they would
each receive here did time allow. In
the Lightning Agent" Dillon is at
his very best, and almost his every ap-
pearance was the signal for hearty
greeting from the audience. AL in
all, last evening at the Funke was the
enjoyable that has been passed there,
by so many as were present, for long
time; but when Dillon comes again he
may expect large crowd.-Lincoln
